Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 245 - 244: After Over Three Years of Marriage, Finally Able to Go Home
Almost everyone was holding various things in their hands, all wanting Gu Jia Ning to accept them.
Gu Jia Ning looked at this scene and thought, perhaps this is the true meaning of healing and saving lives.
Of course, it’s not for gratitude, but for recognition.
That kind of recognition is even more satisfying than material things.
"Everyone, treating and saving lives is the doctor’s duty, and we’re about to go on a journey, so I can’t accept these things."
"You should take them back."
"That’s not right, Doctor Gu, you must accept them."
"Doctor Gu, this canned fruit is easy to carry, please accept it."
...
Finally, it was Sheng Zexi who came out to persuade everyone, and only then did they give up the idea.
Although over the past two years, Sheng Zexi had become the image of a good father and husband in the hearts of everyone in the family compound, often seen with his wife and child in the military region.
But everyone couldn’t forget that Sheng Zexi was still the "Jade-faced Yama," still able to silence people with his words.
So when Sheng Zexi persuaded them, no one dared to say anything more.
"Doctor Gu, you must take care of yourself."
Thus, everyone started to change their words to blessings.
Gu Jia Ning waved her hand at them, "I will take good care of myself."
"Vice Commander Sheng, you must also take good care of Doctor Gu."
Sheng Zexi almost burst out laughing with anger; he held Gu Jia Ning’s hand, "Of course, I’ll cherish my own wife."
At this moment, everyone’s attention shifted to the two-year-old Xingxing and Yueyue.
Although the two little ones were just over two, they were very clever.
They quickly raised their chubby little hands and said in a childish voice, "We will take good care of mommy too!"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone burst into laughter.
In the end, despite everyone’s reluctance, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Gu Jia Ning’s family of four got into the car.
"Doctor Gu, if you have the chance, you must come back."
The car moved forward; behind them, everyone’s voices could still be heard until they gradually faded into the distance.
Gu Jia Ning felt a surge of emotions in her heart.
Seemingly sensing Gu Jia Ning’s gentle sigh, Sheng Zexi, sitting beside her, embraced her comfortingly, and the two children nestled against their mother to comfort her in their own way.
"It’s okay, I’m fine."
"Anyway, as long as we care, we will meet again."
"Mommy, are we going to take the green train now to visit grandpa, grandma, uncles, and aunts?" Yueyue lifted her little head to ask, seemingly trying to change Gu Jia Ning’s mood.
Gu Jia Ning gently stroked the two little braids on her head, speaking tenderly, "Yes, we are going back to mommy’s hometown, a place called Huaihua Village, where mommy’s parents, brother, sister-in-law, and nieces and nephews are..."
Talking about family made Gu Jia Ning’s delicate facial features even softer.
Married for over three years, she could finally go home.
This time, due to Sheng Zexi’s reassignment, Gu Jia Ning also resigned.
Sheng Zexi had always been mindful of Gu Jia Ning’s desire to visit her parents, so he applied for a month and a half of leave with the leadership.
After accounting for travel time, Gu Jia Ning could stay at home for a bit over a month.
This application was only approved yesterday.
She hadn’t had the chance to tell her family yet.
So, Gu Jia Ning decided not to say anything for now and planned to surprise them by arriving unannounced.
"Mommy, will grandpa, grandma, uncles, and aunts like us?" Yueyue continued to ask.
Xingxing also looked at mommy curiously.
Even though grandma Yao Chunhua had taken care of them for two months, at two months old, Xingxing and Yueyue, however smart, couldn’t remember people.
So they didn’t remember her.
But although they didn’t remember, mommy often showed them pictures.
Those were family portraits the Gu Family took specifically to send to Gu Jia Ning so she wouldn’t miss them.
Gu Jia Ning would take these family portraits and tell Xingxing and Yueyue all about everyone from the Gu Family.
"Of course they will. Your grandparents, uncles, and aunts love mommy a lot, and since you are mommy’s children, they will love you too."
Indeed, the Gu Family was that loving and accepting.
On the road, Gu Jia Ning talked to the two children about every family member, and the children listened attentively.
The longing for her family and the anticipation of meeting them soon temporarily overrode Gu Jia Ning’s sadness about parting.
And while Gu Jia Ning told stories to the kids, Sheng Zexi gazed at her with gentle eyes.
Just then, Sheng Zexi became aware of a gaze.
He looked up, and his gaze fell on Xie Ze, who was in the driver’s seat.
Yes, it was Xie Ze in the driver’s seat.
Over three years, Xie Ze had gone from being a little soldier to now being a squad leader.
Over the past two years, he had gotten along well with Gu Jia Ning and her husband. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺
Gu Jia Ning treated Xie Ze like a younger brother, always considering him in everything. Upon learning he was an orphan, she invited him to their house for reunion dinners during Chinese New Year.
Just recently, Xie Ze had acknowledged Gu Jia Ning as his sister, and naturally, Sheng Zexi became his brother-in-law.
For Xie Ze, who was reluctant to see them leave, Gu Jia Ning and her family were very dear, chosen family.
Now they were leaving, and he truly couldn’t bear it.
Unfortunately, as a squad leader, he still had to continue at the Northwest Military Region.
Today, though Xie Ze didn’t originally have a day off, he applied for a day of leave just to be their driver and see them off.
No matter how reluctant, the car eventually arrived at the train station.
It was finally time to say goodbye.
Gu Jia Ning’s eyes fell on Xie Ze; over two years ago, Xie Ze was still a sixteen-year-old boy, and now, over three years later, he had shed his juvenile naivety and become mature and stable.
Except...
Right now, his eyes were still red.
His eyes were brimming with tears, and now and then, he wiped the corners of his eyes, not daring to let himself cry out loud.
Gu Jia Ning stepped forward and gave Xie Ze a hug.
"Sister..." Xie Ze could no longer hold back, and he started to cry.
"Uncle..." Xingxing and Yueyue saw Xie Ze crying, and each hugged one of his legs, very reluctant, with their eyes reddening.
Xie Ze was very good to the two children.
He had a salary, and aside from saving some of it, a considerable amount was spent on food, toys, and clothes for Xingxing and Yueyue.
Xingxing and Yueyue had a keen sense of people’s kindness or malice.
How could they not know that Xie Ze was good to them?
So, now that they had to separate from Xie Ze, they were also reluctant.
"A Ze, make sure to take good care of yourself after we leave, okay?" Gu Jia Ning instructed.
Xie Ze nodded while crying.
"And also, remember the amulet I gave you; always keep it with you and never take it off, understood?" It was her talisman for Xie Ze’s safety, after all.
